Try to understand me Consider what I say Can we find satisfaction Maybe another day I've been working so hard Just to pay my dues However much we earn, my friend We always seem to lose I sometimes get this feeling To set off down the line Ain't no time for yesterdays Leave all that behind I'm going down to the country Got to get away I'm going down to the country Got to see the light of day Getting out of the big old city Going to find me some peace of mind Get out of the mean old city Leave all my troubled blues behind Try to understand me Consider what I say Can we find satisfaction Maybe another day I've been working so hard Just to pay my dues However much we earn, my friend We always seem to lose I'm going down to the country There ain't no time to lose I feel so free and easy Just me and my walking shoes, yeah To the country To the country Down to the country Down to the country Down to the country Down to the country Down to the country Down to the country Down to the country Down to the country Down to the country Down to the country
